Top CoD Streamer Nadeshot Quits Black Ops 6 Over Server Issues and Rampant Cheating
Popular Call of Duty streamer and 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot has announced a temporary break from Black Ops 6, citing severe server issues and rampant cheating as the main reasons for his departure.

Despite praising the game's core mechanics, movement, and gunplay, Nadeshot expressed frustration with the game's technical problems: "Call of Duty has served us up a pile of shit from a network performance standpoint. They won't invest in better servers, higher tick-rate servers. There's no server protections, there's no safeguards to make sure players are having a fair gaming experience."

The announcement comes shortly after Activision's RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team acknowledged their shortcomings in addressing cheating issues in both BO6 and Warzone. The team promised improvements in seasons two and three, particularly focusing on protecting Ranked Play leaderboards from cheaters.
Nadeshot, who currently has nearly 24,000 Twitch subscribers, emphasized that while he's not permanently retiring from BO6, he'll reduce his playtime until these issues are resolved. In the meantime, he plans to explore other games on his stream, including Marvel Rivals.

The streamer concluded by stating that while the game itself is enjoyable, the current technical issues and cheating make it impossible to fully appreciate: "The game is fun for me to play—if it were working properly... But I can't play it, I can't enjoy it. There's no integrity. Somebody's cheating, or the network sucks, or the game is broken."
